If you, then I’ll

If you feel like fading away,
Then I’ll be running to save the day
If you lose your wings and fall from the sky,
Then I’ll be the one to nurse you back so you can fly
If you are lost within the darkest night,
Then I’ll light the match which burns bright
If you are unable to change the tide,
Then I’ll bring confidence back into your stride
If you have fallen under the weather,
Then I’ll bring homemade treats that make everything better
If you go lone wolf and leave the pack,
Then I’ll be right beside you and have your back
If you fail your mission and fall,
Then I’ll lift you up from your crawl
If you lose the light and need a guide,
Then I’ll be there at your side
If you are a yang in need of a yin,
Then I’ll be here with you through thick and thin
If you are cursed to walk through time,
Then I’ll be the one you call your partner in crime
If you feel lost and alone at sea,
Then I’ll become a boat so you can flee
If you seem frightened of the unknown,
Then I’ll stay near so you never battle in this war alone
